I don't have a lot either, and I did make the SERIOUS mistake of asking for advice openly in this forum; but I was so well advised, and not by the naysayers either, that I'm well cured of the bit of nerves I was working up.

BTW, everyone: from now on, when I'm seeking advice on something I don't already see posted, I'll poll a few of you privately so as not to offer the trolls such an easy target next time. I'll never get through apologizing for the stupid notion that they would respect the group rules and that this would be a safe place to ask things openly. Because I've seen they have ZERO respect for decency, and you know what that really means - they have no respect for themselves either.

Not to mention that you know some of them are paid Koch trolls anyway. Well, who could keep their self respect doing that?
